Belated Romance (Mu Tongrui)

Chapter 271

Fu Zhenghui suddenly visited Fu Lingye at his house on Saturday.

“Uncle Zhenghui, what brings you here?”

Fu Zhenghui smiled amiably and said, “Many things happened to you recently. I had seen your father several times after you met the unfortunate incident. Since you came back safely, I have never come to see you and you also did not visit us with Tongrui. That's why I come here today.”

Fu Lingye replied politely, “I just came back so I need to deal with a lot of backlog. In addition, Rui is pregnant and weak, so we haven't been able to visit you.”

With a slight change in the expression on his face, Fu Zhenghui looked at Mu Tongrui's belly. “Tongrui is pregnant?”

During this period, Mu Tongrui's health and complexion became much better under Fu Lingye's care and she looked very energetic now. She said with a faint smile, “Yes, Uncle Zhenghui. We'll definitely visit you and Aunt Xian whenever we're free.”

Fu Zhenghui asked with concern, “How are you feeling now?”

“I'm fine, Uncle Zhenghui. Lingye takes good care of me.”

Then, Mu Tongrui looked up and smiled sweetly at Fu Lingye.

Fu Zhenghui had mixed feelings seeing their sweet relationship.

What if this girl is really my daughter with Lan Jing...

After Lan Jing became pregnant that year, she suddenly disappeared. When she reappeared, she was already Mu Guangqing's wife.

The more Fu Zhenghui thought about it, the more distressed he felt.

Fu Lingye had always been good at reading people, so he asked, “Uncle Zhenghui, what's wrong?”

“Oh, nothing. It's good that you are all safe. Lingye, you should take Tongrui to my house for dinner someday.”

“Sure.”

After Fu Zhenghui left, Mu Tongrui asked suspiciously, “Lingye, is Uncle Zhenghui always fond of you?”

“He has always been nice to me. Why?”

Mu Tongrui shook her head and smiled. “Nothing. I'm just surprised by his sudden visit today. Maybe he is really worried about you.”

“Dad asked us to go back for lunch today.”

“Okay, let's go back and see Sweetheart.”

After Fu Zhenghui left the Repulse Bay Villa and returned home, he sat in the study lost in thought.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Mu Tongrui might be the child he had with Lan Jing back then.

So he called his assistant. “Help me check the blood type of Mu Guangqing and Mu Tongrui.”

“Okay, Chairman.”

As soon as Fu Zhenghui hung up, someone pushed the door of his study open.

The person who came in was his wife, Zhao Xian.

“Are you suspecting that Mu Tongrui is the child between you and that woman?” Zhao Xian asked with bloodshot eyes while standing by the door.

Fu Zhenghui frowned and pursed his lips as he kept quiet.

Zhao Xian closed the door of the study behind her, walked up to him and asked, “Didn't you say that Lan Jing had aborted the baby? W-Why do you still suspect that Mu Tongrui is Lan Jing's daughter? Fu Zhenghui, how could you do this to me and Jia?”

“I am not sure...”

Maybe Lan Jing lied to me and didn't abort the baby.

Zhao Xian looked at him coldly. “Fu Zhenghui, what are you going to do if Mu Tongrui was really the daughter of yours with that woman?”

Fu Zhenghui reached out to wipe his sorrowful face with his palm and said with a sigh, “I don't know. Don't let Jia know about this for now.”

“How can I let Jia know that her father had had a mistress. And that the daughter from this mistress is actually the wife of her cousin whom she admired the most since childhood! I won't ever say a word about this humiliation! Fu Zhenghui, let me tell you. I will not allow you to acknowledge Mu Tongrui even if she is the daughter of yours with that woman!”

Fu Zhenghui’s eyes dimmed. Back then, he and Zhao Xian got married not out of love but for business gains. He had no feelings for Zhao Xian, but he had to marry her under the arrangement of his family and his father. After a year of marriage, he finally made up his mind to divorce Zhao Xian. He even decided to give up all his career and eloped abroad with his first love, Lan Jing. After two years of unfettered life abroad with Lan Jing, she became pregnant. Fu Zhenghui took her back to Fu family, trying to get his father's approval on their relationship. But the matter took a bad turn as the divorce

between him and Zhao Xian was stopped by his father and had not finalized. Therefore, he and Zhao Xian was still a legitimate married couple.

Meanwhile, Lan Jing's dignity did not allow her to be a mistress. So, she left while she was pregnant.

After Lan Jing left, Fu Zhenghui returned to Fu family under pressure.

When Lan Jing showed up again a year later, she had become Mrs. Mu.

At the same time, Zhao Xian also gave birth to a daughter. The responsibilities on Fu Zhenghui's shoulders and his family had turned him and Lan Jing into strangers from then on. They lives were two straight lines that never cross path since then.

Zhao Xian stared at him with cold eyes and asked, “You can't forget Lan Jing after so many years. Can you?”

His answer was a long silence that followed.

Years had passed, and she had given so much to this family, but she was still no match for that woman in his heart.

Huh. In the end, that woman's daughter actually appears in front of me. What an ill fate.

Zhao Xian curled her lips and said, “If Mu Tongrui is really your daughter, that means that she and Lingye are cousins, and we shall see how many people will hate you. Fu Zhenghui, you have a lot to pay back on your debt to me.”

Then, Zhao Xian left the study.

As soon as she left the study, she ran into Fu Jia. She was startled. “Jia? Why are you here?”

Did Jia hear it?

“Mom, what are you talking about with dad? I have been looking for you.”

It looked like Jia didn't hear anything.

If Jia were to find out that Mu Tongrui was her half-sister, I'm afraid...

In the study, Fu Zhenghui received a call from his assistant.

“Chairman, I have checked the blood type of Mu Guangqing and Mu Tongrui. Although Mu Guangqing has passed away, the hospital has always had the backup of his record. Mu Guangqing's blood type is A, whereas Mu Tongrui's blood type is AB.”

Fu Zhenghui's heart skipped a beat.

Mu Guangqing's blood type is A, while Lan Jing's blood type is also A. So, it's impossible that two people with blood type A will give birth to a daughter with blood type AB.

Meanwhile, my blood type is AB just like Mu Tongrui's...

It turns out that Mu Tongrui may be my daughter with Lan Jing.

Lan Jing must have lied to me then. She didn't abort that baby.

Fu Zhenghui buried his face in the palm feeling regret, ashamed, and sorrowful. His heart ached with all kinds of mixed emotions.

The pain in his chest grew intense as he frowned hard while pressing his hands on his chest finding it hard to breathe.

Bam.

Fu Zhenghui fell from his chair to the ground and fell unconscious.

While Fu Lingye and Mu Tongrui were having lunch at Fu family mansion, Fu Zhengyuan received a call.

After hanging up, there was a sullen expression on Fu Zhengyuan's face.

“Lingye, your Uncle Zhenghui suddenly fainted at home, and has been rushed to the hospital. He may be in quite a critical condition, and the doctors are still trying to save him. He has no son, so you should go to the hospital later with Tongrui to visit him and Aunt Xian.” This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Okay, dad.”
